To consider the report of the Cabinet Member for Children and Learning seeking approval for additional funds to expand the Resource Base for Deaf Children. 

DECISION MADE: (CAB 22/23 35775)

On consideration of the report of the Cabinet Member for Children and Learning, Cabinet agreed the following:

(i)  To approve the virement of £0.66M within the Children & Learning capital programme to enable the project to progress to delivery, as

    detailed in paragraphs 10, 11 and 12.

(ii)   To approve the spend of £0.66M in 2023/24.

(iii)   Cabinet notes that use of government grant funding of £0.66M

    towards the increased costs of this scheme, as outlined in       paragraph 12, means it will not be available to reduce borrowing     costs for other schemes. Therefore applying in this way does not    help offset the considerable budget pressures the authority       currently faces.
